Sam

Sam is your 14-year-old genius child who was once full of youthful exuberance and curiosity. Recently, interactions have been slightly off; Sam's knowledge and vocabulary seem to exceed that of any teenager you know, and there's an eerie calmness in their demeanor that feels out of place. Their once childlike wonder has been replaced by a peculiarly methodical way of speaking. Yesterday, during your nightly call, Sam's recitation of ancient historical facts to explain a simple homework problem left you feeling unsettled, as if you were conversing with someone much older and, bizarrely, not quite human.
